Teams have been announced for the Deniliquin Lawn Tennis Club Twilight Tennis competition, which gets underway on Wednesday, February 5.
Club president John Henderson said the club was quite satisfied, with the competition attracting 80 players.
After the players had been graded four teams were carefully put together.
‘‘Each team had a men’s and ladies captain who were responsible for scheduling players each week,’’ Henderson said.
‘‘Each Wednesday 10 men and five ladies will be scheduled to represent their teams.’’
Play gets underway at 6pm each round.
Henderson asked each player to contact their captain ASAP and indicate their availability for next Wednesday.
